The Weight of Delay
On stumbling, rising, and finally daring to trust yourself
How easy—
simply trust yourself,
and succeed.
Can’t believe I stumbled this long
without taking the hand of fearlessness.
Oh boy, how do I explain
all this procrastination?
Slowly watching those
who carry my name on their backs
deteriorate.
Saving the day—
a movie scene I’ve practiced
till nauseousness.
Too bad the dream was created
but never chosen for molding.
Scattered,
hoping to trip on the pieces
that could create my image—
who I was meant to be.
Missing points
that spell themselves in pain,
yet still untrained
in the language of love.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
